Wild photos and the tales they tell

Add Mountain and Stir!

Capturing the grandeur of a beautiful vista is a huge challenge. Add in the improbable size of a mountain and the task seems insurmountable. And yet I try to retain some of that sense in my photos recognizing that standing there breathing it all in is the best it will ever be.

There are quite a few mountains in my best scenes of 2015. Would a mountain appear in your favourite?

There is really something special about mountains. I grew up in the flattest part of a country that has no mountains: perhaps that’s why I really love them. I did grow up next to the sea, though, and have similar feelings towards that marvel. I guess that’s it – both the mountains and the seas seem larger than life, yet they’re reachable.

They’re all beautiful photos, but I think my favourite is the last one. Thanks for sharing!

Oddly enough I loved the mountains when I lived in Utah. Loved them to bits, but my soul cried out for ocean. I suppose I’ve been lucky to fall in love with all the different places I’ve lived. (Well, nearly all… ) 😉

Hard to pick a favorite! They are all beautiful and evoke different moods. My eye keeps going back to the one of the lone peak on a sunny day with the healthy evergreens in the foreground. Like driving past Mount Shasta at sunrise on a winter morning, nothing quite captures the scene like mind’s eye, but you do an outstanding job of coming close to that with your lens.

The mountains definitely have different moods and moments. When I’m not visiting I miss them and when I’m there I remember the feeling and wonder at it all. The single peaks often make the best photos since I like the focus. Thanks for your comments.

Krahnpix was always an odd combination of wildlife photos and my eclectic version of wit. I’m pretty sure I was the biggest fan. I suppose that was a natural outcome of pouring my heart and soul into a project. Through good times and bad, I passionately chased wildlife, learned a few tricks of the trade… Continue Reading

Imagine a bright moon, a calm night and the echoes of wolves howling at a full moon. The mere thot runs shivers down my spine. Then imagine getting a photo of that iconic scene. Priceless. But suddenly the image is exploded by the ruthless pin of reality. It turns out I’ve howled at the moon more often than wolves.… Continue Reading

I like to think that I’m a thotful guy. If you ask me a tough question, I’ll often come up with an interesting perspective (at least to me) or I’ll admit if I don’t know. My problem is that I often get stumped by easy questions. When people look at one of my photos and… Continue Reading
